Conus victoriae, common name the Queen Victoria cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.
Conus nodulosus has often been treated as a geographical variant or subspecies of C. victoriae.
These are mostly smaller, arid light-colored, contrasting strongly with the bands of very dark chocolate longitudinal stripes.
[2] A component of its venom, alpha conotoxin Vc1.1 (ACV1) has been shown to be a potent analgesic in pain tests in animals[3] and is a potential replacement for morphine for the treatment of neuropathic pain.
[9] This marine species is endemic to Australia (Western Australia from Broome north to the mouth of the Victoria River, Northern Territory where it was first discovered by Reeve in 1843)
